A day after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced he was canceling the first week of regular season games, one of the game’s most impactful voices weighed in on the topic: three-time MVP Mike Trout.
Trout, who seldom speaks out publicly for a player of his stature and accomplishments, posted a statement on his social media accounts. He said the league did not bargain in good faith, and stressed the importance for the players of striking a fair deal in this collective bargaining agreement.
“I want to play, I love our game, but I know we need to get this CBA right,” Trout's statement read.
